Rolex Oyster Perpetual Zephyr Silver Dial ref. 1009 in 18k Yellow Gold Florentine FinishZephyr named after Zephyrus, the Greek god and personification of the west wind was always a bit of an outlier in the Rolex catalogue. Although most Rolex Zephyr models used the familiar Oyster case that helped make the brand what it is today, they looked very different from the Oyster Perpetuals, GMT Masters, Datejusts, Day Dates, and so on. The first generation featured a faceted, machined bezel, a SWISS only marking at six oclock, and a rather

- Black lacquer dial

perfectly suited to the utilitarian nature that defines these classic dive watches

and a power reserve indicator

- 18 k yellow gold case in 36 mm

made for the Farsi (Persian ) speaking part of the world

The watch is fitted with a Rolex folded Oyster bracelet (ref 7836) in great condition

And the Day-Date has always been a popular watch here at Bulang and Sons and we are always delighted to offer something a little different
